Potential Errors in Testing

A breath test has several potential failings. It may be administered incorrectly, the device may not be calibrated correctly or mechanical equipment may interfere with a correct reading. There is also a great deal of attention being paid to the software involved and the lack of access attorneys have to this level of information. It can be argued that due to this inability to verify the accuracy of the information, reasonable doubt may inherently exist.

A blood test has similar liabilities. The blood may not be drawn in a medically approved manner and the sample, if mishandled, may become compromised and not provide a fair assessment of your blood alcohol content (BAC). Errors can be made in testing and results should always be checked by an independent laboratory. These issues can be presented in court as they relate to your case and may have a significant impact on its outcome.
